Coffee-React provides a JSX-like syntax for building React components with the full awesomeness of CoffeeScript.

Included is the cjsx executable, which is wrapper for coffee, using
coffee-react-transform and
coffee-script to transform CJSX to Javascript.
You can also require() CJSX components under node for server-side rendering.

React 0.12 will introduce changes to the way component descriptors are constructed, where the return value of React.createClass is not a descriptor factory but simply the component class itself, and descriptors must be created manually using React.createElement or by wrapping the component class with React.createDescriptor.

In preparation for this, coffee-react-transform (and as a result, coffee-react) now outputs calls to React.createElement to construct element descriptors from component classes for you, so you won't need to wrap your classes using React.createFactory. However, for this to work you will need to be using at least React 0.11.2, which adds React.createElement.

If you want the older style JSX output (which just desugars into function calls) then you need to use the 0.x branch, eg. 0.5.1.

Additionally, as of 1.0.0, all input files will be CJSX transformed, even if they don't have a .cjsx extension or # @cjsx pragma.
